Mavizen TTX02: Plug-and-Play Racing for the People – New York Times
Nov 4th
LAS VEGAS — It may seem strange for Azhar Hussain to introduce the electric racing motorcycle built by his London-based company, Mavizen, here at the S.E.M.A. Show. This is, after all, a convention for aftermarket parts for hot rods, tuners and pickup trucks on 26-inch wheels. But that’s the point: the Mavizen TTX02 is almost entirely aftermarket.
Mr. Hussain is the founder of the TTXGP, a race for zero-emissions motorcycles. The TTXGP staged its first event last June during the famous Isle of Man TT, between Ireland and Britain. The race, a grueling 37-mile time trial, was won by Agni Motors, and the team joined with Mr. Hussain over the summer to build the TTX02, a race-ready bike that’s expected to have a top speed of more than 100 miles an hour.

According to the official TTXGP blog, the long-awaited TTX02 electric racebike will be unveiled November 3rd at the giant SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Based on the race-winning Agni X01 electric motorcycle with a frame sourced from an unknown “leading motorcycle manufacturer,” the team behind the effort claims it will be the world’s first production electric supersport bike bred for racing.
Details on the feature are scarce, but the Mavizen TTX02 is also said to come equipped with a dedicated IP address that will have connectivity to a network of some sort. We’re not entirely sure what that connection will allow or what benefits it will offer, but it sounds interesting.
You’ll also be happy to hear that the TTX02 will soon be featured in a new music video from 20-year-old UK pop star Jodie Aysha. The video will be for the song “Pozer” and will air in mid December on MTV. We’re sure you’re just as excited about this as we are.
